The article presents preliminary research results, which understand that the consequences of the complex relation "production" (research)/"spreading" (education)/"use" (consumption) reproduce the dominant Newtonian-Cartesian thought in the academic context. The aim is to identify the level of epistemological discussion in theses of post-graduation programs in São Paulo universities (only theses from Unicamp have been analyzed so far), electing the production in Gynecology, Obstetrics and Mastology. The selection was based on chronology (the most updated), and randomized choice of methodological research type. Through hermeneutic analysis and saturation criteria, four categories were hypothetically searched - view of "person", "health", "ethics" and "science". The works have little or no concern with epistemological reflections. The structure of methodological aspects presents formal concerns in most cases, in a disciplinary and rationalist perspective, what impedes the concretization of academic actions that value the trans-disciplinary approach.
